The U.S. constitution
With a show of hands, how many people here have read every word of the U.S. Constitution? I'm having a hard time finding anyone that has done more than read parts of it. Thanks

It wasn't easy but, yes, I have. Kind of boring reading considering now it's "just a goddamed piece of paper" to our current President.

Read it and spent a semester studying it in depth over 20 years ago. IMO it is the most well-written document I have ever read.

I read it in High School - the Problems of Democracy class. Read it in college for a sociology class. Read it the third time around in the second college for a philosophy class. While I used to have it ALL memorized, yes all, now I can only get through the Bill of Rights.

Yes, I have read it and live by it. Sadly too many policitical people on both sides want it to bend to their desires.
States have lost too much of their rights, Federal governments force their rule on the states by with holding federal money if they don't obey by their rules. They pass laws without funding and force states to do it.
And then of course the supreme court rules on things without strick following of the constitution. ** if for example it was merely does it follow the constitution, there should not be split votes, it should be a clear answer if it is or not consititional.

My college thesis was a comparison of the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. So I read it in full then.

The constitution was already in force when you were in college? I thought you were older than dirt. Lol
